packing in
Giving it up
Packing in means cramming or fitting a large amount into a limited space or time: We're packing in as much sightseeing as possible.
It can also mean attracting crowds: The new show is really packing them in.
In British English, to pack in means to quit or give up: I'm packing in my job.
